Cold war

Since its inception six decades ago, the RAND Corporation has been one of the key institutional homes for the study of deterrence. Never a well-loved concept in the United States, deterrence lost any luster it held after the Cold War. The 2002 U.S. national-security strategy proclaimed deterrence’s irrelevance for most future national

The Arroyo Center conducted a study aimed at helping the Army identify the issues and some of the answers associated with the currents and changes in intrastate conflict in the wake of the Cold War. This report is the supplemental volume to the main report of the study, MR-554/1-A. The bulk of it is devoted to describing six speculative "case studies," drawn from a global survey of actual and pote......

This report is based on findings from newly-declassified decades-old Army and CIA records released under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act of 1998. These records were processed and reviewed by the National Archives-led Nazi War Crimes and Japanese Imperial Government Records Interagency Working Group.

Sometimes single events alter the course of history; other
times, a chain reaction of seemingly lesser occurrences
changes the path of nations. The intense rivalry between the
United States and the Soviet Union that emerged immediately
after World War II (1939–45) followed the second pattern.
Known as the Cold War, the rivalry grew out of mutual distrust
between two starkly different societies: communist Soviet
Union and the democratic West, which was led by the United
States and included Western Europe....

Edward Wilson's second novel will prove familiar territory for fans of A River in May. The setting is 1950s London, at the height of the Cold War. Kit Fournier is ostensibly a senior diplomat at the US embassy in Grosvenor Square, but it actually CIA bureau chef in London. The Arms Race informs much of the action in this fast-paced page turner which sees Kit go undercover to meet a dissident KGB agent, lose a loved one, have a crisis of soul and get blackmailed into becoming a double agent for M16......

The end of the Cold War ushered in an era of profound change in the international arena and hence in the policymaking environment as well. Yet the changes that have characterized the post-Cold War era have often proceeded at different paces and have at times moved in opposing directions, placing unprecedented strain on policymakers seeking to shape a new

The relative roles of U.S. ground and air power have shifted since the end of the Cold War. At the level of major operations and campaigns, the Air Force has proved capable of and committed to performing deep strike operations, which the Army long had believed the Air Force could not reliably accomplish. If air power can large

Welcome to the paperback edition of The Lexus and the Olive Tree. Readers of the
original hardback version of the book will notice that several things have changed in this
new version. But what has not changed is the core thesis of this book: that globalization
is not simply a trend or a fad but is, rather, an international system.

History of Inertial Navigation
Inertial navigation has had a relatively short but intense history of development, much of it during the half-century of the Cold War, with contributions from thousands of engineers and scientists.

This book is a unique reference, aimed at filling in the existing void and
bridging a linguistic, as well as a cultural, gap between Americans and Russians
in the legal sphere. It is the first English-Russian Dictionary of American
Criminal Law to be published in this country.
The demand for this kind of materials in the United States has been
growing steadily over the past few years. Since the end of the Cold War
thousands of Russians have come to the United States including political and
religious refugees, immigrants, scientists, tourists, business people, and,
regrettably, criminals.

The architects of the post-war international economic system had recognized the need for official financing to counteract the insufficiency of private capital flows and, since the 1960s, there has been an increasing perception of the need to support developing countries, an issue that became embedded in the politics of decolonization and the cold war. The surge of private financing to developing countries beginning in the 1970s and the end of the cold war generated an increasing realization that the era of official development financing had passed.

Mapping information forces you to organize the information you are studying, whether that information is from your class notes, a lecture, a field trip, or a textbook. Sometimes you will need to spend considerable time coming up with an appropriate word, phrase, or sentence to write in the center circle of a map. Then you may need to spend even more time considering which topics are related to that main topic for the next level of branches.

Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei developed the scientific knowledge
that became the underpinning of spaceflight. Edward Everett Hale in ‘‘The Brick
Moon’’ and Jules Verne in ‘‘From the Earth to the Moon’’ dreamed and wrote
about it. But finally in the last half of the twentieth century, it was the
Americans and the Soviet Russians, locked in the throes of the Cold War, who
accomplished it.

About Sohl: Gerald Allan Sohl Sr. (December 2, 1913 - November 4, 2002) was a scriptwriter for The Twilight Zone (as a ghostwriter for Charles Beaumont), Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Outer Limits, Star Trek and other shows.

The political impulse to secede - to attempt to separate from central government control - is a conspicuous feature of the post-cold war world. It is alive and growing in Canada, Russia, China, Italy, Belgium, Britain, and even the United States Yet secession remains one of the least studied and least understood of all historical

A Modern Introduction to International Law by the late Professor
Michael Akehurst was first published in 1970. Passing through six
editions, it became a classic among student textbooks within
departments of law and political science alike and it has been translated
into Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese.

A notable achievement by the U.S. Army as of early 2012
is that 90 percent of the legacy chemical weapons and other
chemical warfare materiel (CWM) from the Second World
War and cold war eras and then stockpiled by the United
States have been safely destroyed.

Whatever cumulative risk
had been posed by the existence of this CWM to communi-ties surrounding the six military sites where it was guarded
and safely maintained since the mid-twentieth century is
now zero.

Maliciously modiﬁed devices are already a reality. In
2006, Apple shipped iPods infected with the RavMonE
virus [4]. During the cold war, the CIA sabotaged oil
pipeline control software, which was then allowed to
be “stolen” by Russian spies [10]. Conversely, Russian
agents intercepted and modiﬁed typewriters which were
to be used at the US embassy in Moscow; the modiﬁca-
tions allowed the Russians to copy any documents typed
on said typewriters [16].

Measured at the societal level, a range of political, social, and
technological changes may cause economic and social advances,
apart from the business eﬃ ciencies that may be generated by
a single executive or corporation. Th e economic growth and
prosperity enjoyed by most OECD nations in the 1990s might
just as easily be traced to other causes such as the “peace divi-
dend” from the end of the cold war, increased computerization,
the baby boom ensuring record high workforce participation,
and the increasing globalization of world trade.
